Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Mickey Mouse lies in bed like a lord, getting served breakfast by man's (and mouse's?) best friend Pluto as gentleman's gentleman. Next duty is to fetch the paper, but also pay for it with a coin for the vending machine, and those round things have a nasty habit of escaping a dog's teeth and bouncing over the pavement till they end up in the gutter. After enough attempts to fish and spend the penny, Pluto has a newspaper to carry the same way. The wind has a nasty way to get a better grip on page after page then the dog, so by the time he delivers the daily dose of printed news it's an embarrassingly muddy mess... Written by KGF Vissers |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Pluto is referred to as "James" by Mickey, while serving him, in the 1941 Mickey Mouse Cartoon "A Gentleman's Gentleman", instead of "Pluto". This is because "James" is a typical name for usually English butlers in fiction, since it originated in English fiction. Examples of this in films are Charles Chaplin's 1931 film "City Lights (1931)", where the little Tramp at one point calls the Millionaire's butler "James", before he himself drives off. A very popular example for this is the 1963 Swiss comedy TV sketch "Dinner for One (1963)", where Miss Sophie's (played by May Warden) butler (played by Freddie Frinton) is English and is named "James". It is usually a Gentle, well mannered butler in the way of a Gentleman, and that is why Mickey calls Pluto "James" in "A Gentleman's Gentleman" from 1941. See more » |
